Overview

• Leandro Trossard scored from a Bukayo Saka corner to seal a 1-0 away win, giving Arsenal a fifth league clean sheet and a three-point cushion over Manchester City.
• Anthony Taylor awarded a penalty for a foul on Saka before overturning it after a pitchside VAR check; Mikel Arteta said the outcome was probably right even as TV pundits questioned the intervention.
• Hackett told Football Insider that Taylor did not give a separate foul on Gyokeres because the striker tried to stay upright rather than go down.
• Gary Lineker said Arsenal need Gyokeres to start scoring, and Alan Shearer argued the £63m forward has only three goals so far and looks overpriced, though his runs in behind help create space for teammates.
• Analysts highlighted Arsenal’s heavy reliance on set pieces, with 10 of their 15 goals this season from dead balls, and Trossard nodded to the tactic in a post-match social media post.
